Grams to Atomic Mass Units (AMU) Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Atomic Mass Units (AMU) is:

$AMU = g \times 6.0229552894 \times 10^{23}$

Where:

$AMU$ is the atomic mass units
$g$ is the total mass in grams

What is Atomic Mass Units?

The atomic mass unit (AMU) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state, and has a value of approximately $1.66053906660 \times 10^{-27}$ kilograms.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Mass in Grams (g) = 0.001 g

Using the formula:

$AMU = 0.001 \times 6.0229552894 \times 10^{23} \approx 6.0229552894 \times 10^{20} \, \text{AMU}$

The Atomic Mass Units (AMU) is approximately $6.0229552894 \times 10^{20}$ AMU.
